Sharon Toffey Shepela, Ph.D. We have a deep sense that we are meant to help one another. The tasks can seem too large, the institutions immovable, our skills inadequate, our courage, iffy. Sharon’s workshops, retreats, and lectures show you how to unlock the courage already within you so you can speak up and work effectively for justice. Start right where you are now. Sharon will show you seven steps that will turn barriers into opportunities, empathy into action. The psychological literature is filled with insights into how ordinary people find the courage to stand up for justice. Sharon weaves this research together with spiritual insights and stories of courage in dynamic, hopeful presentations. Attendees at previous workshops share these words of praise:
“Extraordinary! Life-giving!, Dynamic.”
A way to rediscover and fan the flame of compassion in yourself and others.”
“Animated, practical presentation of a very important topic. You thought of every way to make it effective.”
“The whole format inspires then challenges.”
“(Sharon) makes participants feel as if they have honored her by their presence.”
“Helpful and optimistic.”
Whether you are writing your first letter of protest, or are a committed activist, these presentations have something new for you.
Sharon is a social psychologist and activist who has written about courageous behavior. She is coauthoring a book about courageous resistors to human rights abuses.
